Great Qin's son-in-law

Chapter 218 Build a new 'Xiaoguan'! (first update)
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said:
"That's right."

"This is also the original intention of the Great Qin law."

"Food is hard work and salary is meritorious. If you can do it, you must do it."

"At the beginning of the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, the first emperor said that there must be laws and regulations, and there are laws for everything."

"Because of this, Qin has always attached great importance to the popularization of the law since Shang Jun's reform. Understanding the law is actually an urgent need of the people of Daqin, and this is the duty of judges."

"Shang Jun said: The officials know the law and the people know the law, so the officials dare not treat the people illegally, and the people dare not break the law and judge the judge. If the people don't modify the law, they will ask the judge. Tell the official with the words of the judge. The official knows this, so the official dare not treat the people illegally, and the people dare not break the law."

Qin Luoheng listened quietly.

Daqin has always tacitly allowed the people and officials to supervise each other.

In Shang Yang's view, when people understand the law from judges, they are not afraid of oppression by officials, and they dare not break the law casually. Officials know that the people understand the law, so they dare not oppress them at will. Officials were vaccinated.

As Qin Luoheng said earlier, 'the people are not all knowledgeable' and 'the people are not all virtuous', so judges are extremely important in the Great Qin system. In the Great Qin system, judges are relatively independent and directly obey orders from the Yushifu. Other official positions are more neutral,
Therefore, the judge is the mediator between the people and the officials!
Also because the judges receive all kinds of low-level people on a daily basis, they must be very familiar with the law, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with all kinds of people. The magistrate must go to the Yushifu to check the legal provisions every year, and at the same time update the " Legal Questions and Answers!
Most of the amendments to the laws of the Qin Dynasty came from the suggestions of judges.

Yingzheng continued: "The laws of the Great Qin Dynasty are indeed a bit harsh, but the ranks and the system of consecutive sittings that were opposed by the outside world are actually not strictly enforced. How can the escaped remnants of the Six Kingdoms remain at large?"

Ying Zheng didn't say much about it.

The conversation changed, and he brought up the bamboo slips on Qin Luoheng's case, and asked, "I just saw the bamboo slips on your big case, but it said something about the Xiongnu and Baiyue. It’s been more than a month in the north, how did you know about Baiyue?”

Qin Luoheng smiled and said:
"When I was in Lishan, I saved one person."

"The man's name is Wu Rui, a descendant of Fuchai, the king of Wu. He beheaded the leader of the escaped prisoner and was rewarded with two ranks of nobility, so he returned to Wu County. After he returned, he happened to be attacked and killed by Baiyue. In the reply to me, I mentioned a few words."

Ying Zheng slightly forehead.

He glanced at the case and said with a normal expression: "Since you have a certain understanding of the North and the South, then tell me what you think about the war between the North and the South."

Qin Luoheng pondered for a while.

Shen said:
"In terms of warfare, Great Qin will surely win!"

"But in terms of governance, it could be tricky."

Ying Zheng glanced at Qin Luoheng, and asked calmly, "Do you know why the court insisted on beating the Xiongnu?"

Qin Luoheng said:

"The Xiongnu can threaten Qin."

Ying Zheng said noncommittally:
"At present, Wang Jian and Meng Wu have died of illness, Wang Ben is in a coma, and the 20 troops in the south are deeply trapped in the South China Sea. In addition, due to the Tianzheng incident in the six regions of Shandong, there are successive turmoil in various places. Therefore, the Xiongnu wants to bite me Daqin hard."

"This time it is the soldiers of the Huns going south!"

"But this battle is actually unavoidable. The imperial court has long expected it and has been preparing for it. This time, it is expected that the army will go north."

"There are objections in the court."

"But they don't understand the Huns."

"Someone in the DPRK proposed to send the Xiongnu exquisite clothes and food to maintain their neighbors, trying to reduce the aggressiveness of the Xiongnu in this way, but this method is not advisable."

"Great Qin started in the borderlands, and has dealt with nomads too much, and knows their habits well. The suggestions of these ministers have no problem in applying to Zhao, Wei, Han and other countries, but they cannot be applied to the Xiongnu."

"The Great Qin practiced farming warfare, while the Xiongnu and other nomads practiced animal husbandry warfare!"

"The two are not in the same system. If you want the Xiongnu to cooperate with Daqin, you are simply seeking skin from a tiger. The gain outweighs the loss, and the Huns will not agree. It is actually very normal for these nomads to harass, harass, and attack China for a long time."

"Perhaps you will be a little confused."

"But it's the truth!"

"You have never been in power, and you can't see many things clearly. The resources on the grassland are scarce. It seems that the land is sparsely populated, but in fact it cannot support too many people. In order to survive, they can only go south to plunder resources and maximize their military advantage. , is actually an inevitable choice for nomads!"

"During the 600 years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, during these 600 years, Yan, Zhao, and I, Da Qin, have been dealing with these nomads. Before Shang Jun's reform, Da Qin actually had little advantage over the Yi and Di in the west."

"The same goes for Zhao Yan."

"People in the world only know that Zhao Wuling King's Hufu riding and shooting, but they don't know why there is such a change in the Zhao Kingdom, because to a certain extent, the country of farming and war does not have much advantage over the nomad of Shangmu Zhan."

"Even a disadvantage!"

"The reason is also very simple. Nomads fight and run away. Whether it is war or peace is determined by nomads. Therefore, the cost of defending nomads in farming and war countries is very high, and the cost of fighting is even higher, because the grassland is large and deep. With a small population, it is not easy to catch up."

"Nomad is not afraid to fight a war of attrition and a protracted war with you."

"He can afford it!"

"Many courtiers in the DPRK were very naive, thinking that a good account with the Xiongnu would allow the two countries to live in peace through trade, but they didn't understand at all that the Huns were barbarians, even if they were short of things, they would not be willing to trade. "

"They only rob!"

"Qin Feizi's ancestors established Qin. At that time, they were poor and poor. They had no land, no one, no copper, and no salt. If they wanted to survive, they had to fight for it. They fought against Yi and Di in the west, and Jin in the east. Zhou royal family robbed."

"Because it's the most cost-effective to grab!"

"If you really go to trade with other countries, you will find that the price of the other party's things will only become more and more expensive, while the fur resources in your hands will become cheaper and cheaper, and the other party will become more and more aggressive, and the only way to break the situation law is the only solution.”

"Just grab!!!"

"Daqin is called the Qin of tigers and wolves by Shandong countries, and it is not for nothing that it is called barbarians. It is precisely because I, Daqin, grew up like this, that Daqin knows the details of the Xiongnu and wants to live with such neighbors. The previous kings of Daqin only gave There's a way."

"kill!!!"

"Only when the Huns who were killed were terrified, the Huns who were killed were palpitated, and the Huns who were killed did not dare to covet again, then the northern border will usher in real stability."

"Deal with nomads."

"A spear is always more useful than a reason!"

"This time the army is heading north, and it is sweeping the caves in Liting!"

"This is the first time."

"But it won't be the last time."

"The ultimate goal of the Great Qin is to completely wipe out the Xiongnu on the grassland through repeated Northern Expeditions, so that the surrounding areas can no longer threaten the existence of the Great Qin."

"It's just like the Qin State destroyed Yi and Di!"

"Husband?"

"Da Qin will only choose to use spears to deal with it!"

Looking at the chief official of Qin who spoke more and more powerfully and domineeringly, Qin Luoheng's heart fluttered. He thought that the imperial court's conquest of the Xiongnu was only because the Xiongnu went south to disturb the border. He never thought that the imperial court thought so deeply. so far.

Qin started from the frontier and started his family by conquering Yi and Di, so Qin knew the habits of the Xiongnu very well. The wolves couldn’t get enough to eat. If they wanted the wolves to be obedient, they could only use force. Only after being deterred by force can the wolf be domesticated into an obedient dog!

Daqin is well versed in this!
Qin Luoheng praised: "The court has a high vision."

Ying Zheng shook his head and said:

"It's not far-sighted. At present, the Beiyuan Road has not been completed, and there are still some difficulties in the supply of food and grass. This time, even if the Northern Expedition is really realized, it can only solve the problem for a while. If you want to completely wipe out the Xiongnu, you still need a lot of money." For a short time."

Ying Zheng was sober.

He knows more information than the outside world.

He knew the details of the current Xiongnu very well. The Xiongnu were no longer the Xiongnu in the past. The current Xiongnu integrated the Donghu, Beihu, Linhu, Loufan and other tribes, and their strength had grown to the point where even the Great Qin could not be underestimated.

This time the Xiongnu even claimed that an army of 50 went south.

but.

Ying Zheng was not afraid either.

When it comes to war, Daqin has never been afraid.

What he cares about now is how many Huns can be killed.

If the 50 army could be completely wiped out, the Xiongnu would never regain their vitality in less than a hundred years, and how could the weakened Huns hold down the Hu tribes underneath?At that time, there will be too much room for Daqin to manipulate.

But Ying Zheng also knew.

Total annihilation is almost unrealistic.

Think of this.

Ying Zheng thought of Wang Ben.

Regarding the war against the Huns, the court has already been decided, but the original general is actually Wang Ben, who is good at cavalry and is familiar with the geography of the north. In fact, it is most suitable for Wang Ben to lead the army. However, Wang Ben was suffering from a secret illness at the time. He's still unconscious right now.

Ying Zheng continued:
"I read your thoughts on the bamboo chips. You suggested that after the Northern Expedition is over, the army should raid the Xiongnu from time to time. It's a good idea, but it's a bit unrealistic. The grassland is huge, and relying on sweeping from time to time not only puts high demands on the army. , and consume a lot of resources.”

"If it fails repeatedly, it will be a waste of national power."

"Do you know how Daqin dealt with nomads in the past?"

Qin Luoheng shook his head.

Ying Zheng Road:
"Qin has four barriers."

"East Han Valley, West Dasan Pass, South Wu Pass, and North Xiao Pass."

"At that time, there was a joke in Guanzhong, which said, 'If the four passes are consolidated, Qin will prosper; if the four passes are lost, Qin will be destroyed.'"

"Although this sentence is a bit absurd, it also illustrates the importance of the four plugs."

"At present, the Xiongnu has become a climate, and it is difficult to destroy it in a short time, so Daqin wants to build another 'Xiaoguan' in northern Xinjiang to defend against the Huns!"

"Advancing can be the forerunner of the Great Qin, and retreating can keep the Great Qin stable!"

"This 'Xiao Pass' pushes the Great Wall of Qin in Lintao to the north until Jiuyuan, then connects the Great Wall of Qin, Zhao, Yan and Three Kingdoms, and finally reaches Liaodong. If it is completed, this pass will stretch for more than ten thousand miles, becoming an unprecedented Fortress of thousands of miles."

"Protect Great Qin for all generations!!!"
